It's probably not all that new. From roller coasters to horror movies, we have always wanted to seek things that scare us, as long as the reward is better than the risk. It's like that movie "Talk to Me", where the kids use a possessed artifact to get high instead of avoiding it like the plague.
She has always had it. When we first met, she told me since she was a kid she hated certain things like fish scales, honey combs, etc. She felt like she wanted to scratch her eyes out when she saw them. I wanted to make fun of her saying she is the only person in the world with such a weird thing, and discovered that there was an actual name for it. Neither of us had any idea that trypophobia was a thing until I started searching with her symptoms.
My wife definitely has trypophobia. She never seeks such images, and hates seeing them. You should hear her scream when she accidentally (to her. Mostly I plan it) comes across such images/objects. Just the other day she freaked out at some 'pineberries' that I brought home for their novelty.
To be clear, it’s more fun to re-watch on shuffle, not for the first time. If I restart watching sequentially, I would start remembering the upcoming plot points from my previous watch. This way, it’s more fun to me. It’s like viewing your old photos. It’s more fun when you pick a random photo instead of starting from the beginning and moving down.

I'm rewatching House, one random episode at a time. It's a more fun experience than watching it in sequence, and the show has held up amazingly well compared to my other favorite shows.
